Private workers are faced with competitions from employees of other companies, so they have to do a good job or else they'll lose their job. With government work, it's completely different. The government is a monopoly. Since they have no competition, they have no incentive to do a good job. The public sector unions have also rigged the rules in a way where it's impossible to fire them no matter how bad of a job they do.
That sounds like demonizing everybody for the sins of a few, like denying welfare to everybody because a tiny fraction abuse the system.
It's not as though many of those same abuses don't take place in the private sector, it's just that the beneficiaries tend to exist higher up the ladder and at the expense of everybody below them. Private sector workers are definitely subject to a lot more abuse from their employers, and for some reason, this should be the standard?
